improvement in the Crown Princes condition to-
day that DR.. Howell declares that he even begins
to hope for his recovery The Crown Prince re-
manned indoors to-day account of q heavy
rain-storm DIR. Bramanan, first assistant to
DR.. Bergman, arrived at San Reno to-day. He
is the surgeon of approved skill mentioned as
having been sent by the Emperor to watch the
sudden recurrence of the swelling which en-
dangers the Grown Princes lfe He is famous
for the sureness of his hand in performing
tracheotomy He performs most of the opera
tions of this kind in Berlin, where there are 400
cases yearly.
The Kolnsche Werehemschrift says Drs
Bergman and Gerhardt regard the time in
opportune reply to the official statement of
DIR. Mackenzie. This agrees with the advice of
the official press. which deprecates "a dispute at
the bedside OF patient upon topic unit for
public forum"

of the erroneous report that the Crown Princes
malady is the result of excessive smoking. He

His grandmother the Queen Louise. died from
csncerous tnmors on her lungs.
DR.. Mackenzie will return to San Reno next

Frederick William continues to be in iovial
mood, DESPITE the certainty that his malady is
fatal. Last evening he received party of press
correspondents. with whom he cracked jokes.
and his illness WAS apparently the only thing he
didn't think about To correspondent of
Berlin paper he said however. when pressed to
say something of himself "Teu the people of
Berlin that am grateful for the proofs of love
and sympathy they have manifested" If il is
true that he is suffering from soft cancer, blood
poiso ming must shortly ensue. causing general
arrangement of his system and total prostration
in the very near future. Professor Virchow
has yet made no report on the last discharge
OF mucus from the Princes throat. a portion of
which was immediately sent to him for exami-
patton. Great anxiety is felt at the DELAY. as it
is upon this report that reliance Is placed to de-
ternine definitely the character of the new
growth.
The important announcement is made to-
light that, owing to the illness of the Crown
Prince, Prince William will, by command of
the Emperor represent his father al all future
state ceremonies and receptions. Prince Bis
narck. since his arrival. has held daily confer
ences with Prince William. who visited the
lin on Tuesday night. The speech from the
throne at the opening of the Rechstag on
Thursday will definitely allude to the position :
of Prince William The official circle Is
especially grati6ed by the Princes recognition,
and all Germany approves step which will
further consolidate the position of Bis
narck as leader of German destnes. Prince
William does not swerye from his admiration
for Prince Bismarck. He is devoted TO the
Chancellor's theories of good government, and
will implicitly submit to his guidance. Prince
Williams brusque, military manner, and his oc-
easional displays of overbearing temper,
like his father, and the Crown Prince, who ID
pleasant TO every body and is slow 10 anger. Any
intellectual pow er Prince William possesses has
been bestowed upon practical studies OF war
tactics and the minutest details OF army organi-
cation. He is credited with the possession OF
abundant common sense. and will be willing to
accept the advice of Prince Bismarck any
other competent Minister in questions of higher
policy.
